Chapter 388 Li Huaide’s nephew!

Because there were many people eating at home, when Qin Huairu was cooking dinner, Jia Dongming asked Qin Huairu to cook porridge with rice and steamed white flour buns. As for the side dishes, there was a plate of fried cabbage, a plate of beef with shredded potatoes, and a plate of pickled radish.

This meal was just an ordinary dinner for the current Jia family, but in Qin Jingru's eyes, it was like the New Year, making her more determined to marry into the city in the future.

After dinner, Qin Jingru, who was a little full, helped Qin Huairu take the dishes on the table into the kitchen. Thinking of the meal she had tonight, Qin Jingru asked Qin Huairu with envy on her face: "Sister! Does your family always eat like this?"

Qin Huairu, who was about to wash the dishes, heard Qin Jingru's question and saw the envious expression on Qin Jingru's face. Qin Huairu smiled and introduced Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Before Banggeng's uncle came back, your sister and I were worried about whether the children could have enough to eat. Since Banggeng's uncle came back, our family's situation has started to improve."

"Brother-in-law! Move the TV outside quickly, the TV program is about to start." After dinner, it was almost six o'clock. Lin Qiuyu thought of the TV program and immediately urged Jia Dongming to move the TV to the yard.

Qin Jingru, who was helping to clean up the dishes in the kitchen, heard Lin Qiuyu's call from outside the kitchen. She immediately remembered what Banggeng had told her. An expectant expression immediately appeared on her face. She asked Qin Huairu, who was cleaning up the table, "Sister! Is the TV good? I want to go out and watch TV, too."

When Qin Huairu heard what Qin Jingru said, she smiled and said to Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Watching TV is almost the same as watching a movie. Help me clean up the dishes and let's go out and watch TV together."

Qin Jingru diligently helped Qin Huairu clean up the dishes and followed Qin Huairu into the yard. Banggeng saw Qin Jingru and immediately called out to her, "Auntie! Come over here and sit down. The TV show is about to start."

Sha Zhu, who was sitting not far away, heard Bang Geng's shout and instinctively looked in Bang Geng's direction. When he saw Qin Jingru following behind Qin Huairu, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly stood up from his chair, walked quickly to Qin Huairu, and asked her with a smile: "Sister Qin! Who is this girl?"

When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu's question and saw his shining eyes, she smiled and introduced him, "Zhuzi! This is my third uncle's cousin Qin Jingru. She came to the city with me to play for a few days."

After hearing what Qin Huairu had introduced, Sha Zhu looked at Qin Jingru, who looked a bit like Qin Huairu, and asked her, "Sister Qin! Is your sister promised to someone?"

Qin Huairu had been married into the Siheyuan for so many years, and she knew Sha Zhu's character very well. When she heard Sha Zhu asking if Qin Jingru was married, she immediately reminded Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! My cousin is only sixteen years old this year, you are not allowed to have any ideas about her."

When Sha Zhu heard Qin Huairu's reminder, he immediately realized that his thoughts were seen through by Qin Huairu. An awkward smile suddenly appeared on his somewhat old face, and he explained to Qin Huairu a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qin! I'm just asking."

When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu's words and saw his embarrassed expression, and thought of Qin Jingru's idea of marrying into the city, she smiled and promised Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! Our Jingru is still young. If you are still not married by the time she comes of age, I will introduce Jingru to you."

When Sha Zhu heard Qin Huairu's promise, he felt his eyes light up at first, but when he thought of Qin Jingru's actual age, he showed disappointment on his face and replied perfunctorily: "Sister Qin! Let's talk about this matter later."

When Qin Huairu heard what Sha Zhu said, how could she not understand Sha Zhu's thoughts? She did not argue with Sha Zhu on this issue any further. She walked to the empty seat next to Qin Jingru and sat down.

After Qin Jingru saw Qin Huairu sitting down, she immediately asked her curiously, "Sister! Who was the person you were talking to just now?"

When Qin Huairu heard Qin Jingru asking about Sha Zhu, she immediately smiled and said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru! That's the chef of our steel mill, his name is He Yuzhu, nicknamed Sha Zhu. He just saw you and asked me about you."

If someone else had asked Qin Huairu about her situation, Qin Jingru would have been secretly delighted, after all, she had always wanted to marry into the city. The Sha Zhu in front of her looked about the same age as her father, so Qin Jingru naturally looked down on him. When Qin Jingru learned that Sha Zhu had asked Qin Huairu about her situation, she immediately showed a disgusted expression on her face and complained to Qin Huairu: "Sister! That Sha Zhu looks about the same age as my father, and he actually set his sights on me. Besides, why do you call him Sha Zhu? Is he a fool?"

Qin Huairu was not surprised at all when she heard Qin Jingru's complaint. She smiled and introduced him to Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Shazhu just looks older. He is only 25 years old this year. As for why he is called Shazhu, it all started when he was a kid selling buns!"

After hearing what Qin Huairu said and learning about Sha Zhu's details, Qin Jingru no longer rejected him as much as before and answered, "I was wondering how a fool could become a chef. So this is what happened."

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

At about eight o'clock the next morning, the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang. Jia Dongming picked up the receiver and asked politely, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"

"Deputy Captain! Good morning! I'm Zhou Hua. We have already investigated the situation of the two families who did not report the serial theft case." Just as Jia Dongming finished his inquiry, Zhou Hua's polite report came over the phone.

After hearing Zhou Hua's report, Jia Dongming immediately asked Zhou Hua curiously, "Zhou Hua! What is the specific situation of those two families? Have you arranged people to verify it?"

When Zhou Hua heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately reported to him, "Deputy Captain! The first household targeted by the thief is Zhang Guobin, the deputy director of the machinery factory. The five small yellow croakers and 1,700 yuan in cash that the thief stole from his home have been found by us. Since you have confessed that you will be informed as soon as the results come out, we did not go to find the owner of the lost items."

"The other family is called Li Jianshe. He is a clerk in the logistics department of your steel mill. However, according to what we know, Li Jianshe does not live in that yard. We also learned that his uncle is Li Huaide, the deputy director of your steel mill."

When Jia Dongming heard what Zhou Hua had introduced, he immediately remembered the phone call Li Huaide had made to him two days ago. At this time, even without using his brain, Jia Dongming could guess that the courtyard should belong to Li Huaide, but it was just held by his nephew on his behalf.

After trying to figure out the reason, Jia Dongming smiled and asked Zhou Hua, "Zhou Hua! How many things were stolen from Li Jianshe? Since he doesn't live in that yard, could it be that he doesn't know that his things were stolen?"

When Zhou Hua heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately reported to him: "Deputy Captain! The thief stole thirteen smaller yellow croakers, a large yellow croaker and a jade bracelet from the courtyard owned by Li Jianshe."

After hearing what Zhou Hua said, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment and said to Zhou Hua, "Zhou Hua! I don't think Zhang Guobin will admit that he was robbed. As for whether Li Jianshe knew about the theft, that remains to be discussed. Considering that the impact of this incident is not that great, I will be responsible for contacting the two owners."

When Zhou Hua heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he vaguely understood Jia Dongming's idea and replied respectfully, "Deputy Captain! I understand. I will arrange for someone to hand over the recovered accounts to the finance department for safekeeping. As for how to deal with them later, I will wait for your notice."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhou Hua's answer, he remembered what he had promised Chen Xueru, and immediately said to Zhou Hua: "Zhou Hua! I have another matter here that I need your help to do."

Zhou Hua, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Jia Dongming's instructions. Although he didn't know what Jia Dongming wanted him to do, he still replied respectfully: "Deputy Captain! If you have anything to say, please let me know."
